COLORADO BEETLES FOR ENGLAND.
An Irishman in America has hit upon # novel way of avenging the wrongs of his .country if the following story is true : "It is said that he i« collecting Colorado beetles for transmission to England. The Pall Mall Gazette observes, that he can hardly have thought out all the bearings of this new auxiliary to the dynamite, -which he desires to enlist in the service of his patriotic aspirations. Beetles Gan move and multiply, and Ireland is not so remote from England thai colonizing the one with beetles .would not mean planting the other with beetles too. Moreover, the Colorado beetle is deeply attached to potatoes, and as long as Ireland contained a potato, that .country of potatoes would probably be its phosen home."
